Lily Collins shuts down 'Emily in Paris' feud rumours with supportive message to departing co-star Camille Razat
Lily Collins has addressed speculation of tension within the Emily in Paris cast by publicly supporting her co-star Camille Razat following Razat's departure from the Netflix series.
Feud rumours had emerged after reports suggested Collins previously declined to join a group interview with her castmates ahead of the Season 3 and 4 premiere, raising questions about her relationship with the ensemble.
Camille Razat, who portrayed Camille in the series, confirmed she would not return for the upcoming fifth season. In a statement to The Independent, she said her character's journey had naturally come to an end and that it was the right time to explore new projects. Razat also posted a farewell message on Instagram, sharing behind-the-scenes images and expressing gratitude to the production team and fans.
Collins, who stars as Emily Cooper, quickly commented under Razat's post, writing: 'Love you sister. It's been a wild ride and an absolute pleasure. You're a rockstar. So proud of you.'
On her Instagram Story too, Lily Collins re-posted Camille Razat's announcement and wrote, 'Thank you for the incredible memories @camillerazat. You've brought a spark and a light to this show that will be so missed but ALWAYS celebrated. You're a force and I'm so proud of you and excited for all you have to come...'
Razat's departure marks a significant shift for Emily in Paris, as her character played a key role across the first four seasons. Season four concluded with Camille learning of a false pregnancy and leaving her fiancé Gabriel, setting the stage for new storylines. The fifth season will reportedly follow Emily's move to Rome and later return to Paris.
Emily in Paris first debuted in 2020 and has been a major success for Netflix, blending romantic drama with cultural exploration. Season five is expected to premiere in autumn.

Tyler Perry's Straw divides audiences with emotional performances and flawed storytelling on Netflix
Tyler Perry's latest film, Straw, debuted June 6 on Netflix and is already stirring strong reactions. While praised by some viewers for its emotional intensity, the film has also drawn criticism for its forced plot and underwhelming production design. Written and directed by Perry, Straw follows Janiyah (played by Taraji P. Henson), a single mother enduring a string of hardships—losing her job, facing eviction, and clashing with a corrupt police officer—before finding herself entangled in a high-stakes confrontation at a bank. Screen Rant's Grant Hermanns critiques the film's plot for feeling overly contrived, stating that its attempts to build tension often come off as predictable and illogical. However, he acknowledges that Henson's emotionally charged performance adds a compelling depth to an otherwise uneven story. A dramatic twist involving a vision of police storming the bank and shooting Janiyah momentarily evokes sympathy, but is quickly reversed, weakening the film's emotional payoff. Hermanns also notes that despite moments of effective drama, the film's low production quality—reportedly filmed in just four days—detracts from its impact. Sets appear underdressed, and the cinematography lacks polish, making the experience feel visually flat. Still, Henson's performance is widely praised, with many agreeing she delivers a powerful portrayal of a woman pushed to her limits. Sherri Shepherd's supporting role as a compassionate bank manager also earned recognition. Audience reactions online are deeply divided. While some viewers resonate with the film's raw depiction of systemic struggles, others criticize its logic and execution. Whether seen as a flawed social drama or a necessary emotional outcry, Straw is undeniably sparking conversation—and controversy—on Netflix.

Live content unites Netflix fans worldwide
Netflix continues to add more live content for viewers hungry for real-time entertainment, including the Tyson vs Paul boxing match, National Football League games and, most recently, the Tudum live fan event that showcased upcoming TV shows. "This is the first time we've done the show in this way, a live format," Shelly Gillyard, VP of Series Marketing for the US and Canada, told Reuters at the Netflix Tudum fan event last Saturday. "Previous years were on the ground fan activations," Gillyard added. Tudum is named after the sound that plays before each Netflix film and series. For Netflix, it was important to ensure that they were incorporating talent from all over the world for the global fan event. More than 100 Netflix stars and creators appeared in the show hosted by actor Sofia Carson, who starred in the airport thriller Carry On. The first two Tudum events took place in São Paulo, Brazil, in 2020 and in 2023. However, for 2025, it was relocated to Los Angeles, California. The 2020 Netflix Tudum in Brazil drew 50,000 people in four days and the post-COVID numbers for the 2023 Brazil Tudum were 35,000. Gillyard said the live event could take place somewhere else in the future and Netflix is focused less on where it is held and more on making it available globally. With major titles like Squid Game, Stranger Things, Wednesday, and Emily in Paris, combined with a performance by Lady Gaga, the streamer capitalised on fan interest. One of the largest draws for viewers was the premiere date announcements for Emmy award-winning series Stranger Things. The livestreamed event revealed that Stranger Things will have a fifth and final season split into three parts, with part one on November 26, 2025, part two on December 25, 2025 and the series finale on December 31, 2025.
